Hot Start/battery Drain Issue! Solved

[Carnell Leach]

2006
Issues: Ride down the block to get gas, no start. Cranking sounds like a weak battery...alot of dragging... Wait 20 min starts fine...
I first tore down the bike chased all the wires, bought new rectifier, stator, did multiple checks of the charging system and figured out something was draining my battery...
Ordered new starter, installed and she fired right up! Did a few test runs and feel confident that was my problem...Hope this helps someone....This problem frustrated me such much that I was real close to selling it.After the ride today, I will never let ER go. Learn from my mistake and take to the mechanics to get an assessment done before dumping $ in your bike although everything I replaced will eventually go bad.

Everything wears out eventually, it's mechanical. I've replaced the entire ignition system on my 37 year old CBX. So far, no repairs needed on my 06 @ 60,000+ miles.

Yep simple test on the charging system. Glad you got it squared away.
